Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid received a three-game suspension for a cross-check on Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland.

The NHL Department of Player Safety ruled today that Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers would be serving a three-game suspension for his cross-check to the face of Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard in the corner.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid will have a disciplinary hearing for his cross-check to the head of Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland.

The Edmonton Oilers have been one of the strongest teams in the NHL this season as they try to get back to the Stanley Cup Final this season, looking for retribution after losing out on their first championship since 1990 to the Florida Panthers last season.

Connor McDavid admitted that he's not proud of cross-checking an opponent on the face. But, the Edmonton Oilers captain and three-time Hart Trophy winner said that NHL officials need to be more consistent in the way that they call games.

That is a huge deal for McDavid and the Oilers, let alone the league since that involves one of the league's biggest superstars.
